Plankton Distributions

The distributions of z-scores for phytoplankton, bacterioplankton, and particle-proxy parameters shown to the right represent campaign composites. Profile data are displayed by white and black “+” symbols, where black symbols represent casts during multiday stations (N2S4, 47˚N; N3S6, 53˚N).

Geochemical Distributions

The distributions of z-scores for geochemical parameters shown to the right represent campaign composites. Profile data are displayed by white and black “+” symbols, where black symbols represent casts during multiday stations (N2S4, 47˚N; N3S6, 53˚N).

Mixed Layer Depths

Mixed layer changes were very different between the two stations, with rapid shoaling of a deep mixed layer at N2S4 and a fairly unchanging shallow mixed layer at N3S6.
